Abstract (en)

[origin: US2019293915A1] In one embodiment, a modular confocal microscope is disclosed that includes a beam steering means arranged to direct the source of electromagnetic radiation non-collinearly with the optical axis of a focusing lensing means configured within the modular confocal microscope, wherein the focused non-collinearly directed source of electromagnetic radiation is used for an imaging basis of targeted one or more sites of a specimen; and at least one arrayed detector configured along a beam path in a conjugate confocal plane to the targeted one or more sites of a specimen and further configured to provide autocorrection information to maintain focus and image quality of the targeted one or more sites using the imaging basis, and wherein the arrayed detector provides high-throughput configured synthetic apertures in a pixel range array of N=2×2 up to an array of N=21×21.
